Problem Solving, Metacognition and Composition: The Effects of Interactive Software for First-Grade Children.
Lehrer, Richard; Randle, Lynn
Journal of Educational Computing Research, v3 n4 p409-27 1987
An experimental study compared the instructional effectiveness of Logo programming, commercially available software designed to aid composition and problem solving, and traditional teaching methods for low socioeconomic status first-grade students. Both software environments enhanced problem solving performance for a novel task, but Logo was most facilitative for "learning to learn." (LRW)
